Seen a funny comment about someone referencing a person looking like a Finger Bob yesterday but the picture that she put up was not what I know as a Finger Bob (80’s child) but some bearded ventriloquist with a hand puppet mouse?!!
The Finger Bobs I knew and loved were little hard plastic figures, I think made by Fisher Price that had a whole in the middle so that they sat on your fingers, there was a little blue one with a lace collar that could have been either a boy or a girls, a green bald one, and bright blue one with a blonde pony tail...
we had a carousel/merry go round that you could wind up and they all had little individual seats that they could sit on but my favourite was a boat that I was allowed to take into the bath!
I cannot find any reference to this part on my childhood online now, they will always be Finger Bobs to me but tell me I didn’t imagine them?!
